Jo and mess!

As we were all just lazing around in the livingroom, Jo jo came up and said "Mum, I pangsai (pooped)." Before I could take her to the toilet, she did the unthinkable. (well not unthinkable for a 2 year old), she stuck her hands into her diaper!!!!!!!!!! Eeewwwwwwwwwww!! I jumped up and yelled "Jo, take your hands out!," hoping her hands had not touched her poop. Alas, she took out her hands and yeah, stuck to the tips and all her nails was the stinky, brownish poop!!! Urrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

"Off to the toilet!!" "don't touch the sofa!" "don't put it in your mouth!" ....and I had to keep saying all this commands as we marched to the toilet! arrghh! yukk! The joys of motherhood! hahaha.....

This morning Jo had bread and jam for breakfast. She undid the sandwich and wiped the jam on the floor and said "AIYOH!" (Malaysian for Oh No!) "JO!!" I jumped up again. You must be wondering why I'm always jumping up? well, actually I'm down with a horrid flue....and trying to rest when she has to create all these little scenes for me. *sigh*..... anyway, since I have absolutely no energy today, I gave her a series of commands to follow.
I told her "Jo, put that sandwich in the dustbin, go to the kitchen and get the cloth."

So pitter patter, went her little feet. After a while I hear a "thud" sound, and assume it must be JO throwing the sandwich in the dustbin. Then I hear her sweet voice calling very loudly from the kitchen "Mum, where is it?" (meaning the cloth). I yell back "By the sink!"

A few minutes later, she emerges with cloth in hands, wipes the mess up. and asks "mum, could I...have...milk?" So I replied "first, put the cloth back, next to to the toilet at the back and wash your hands, then come back and pick up all your toys."

I listen intently...and yeah, I heard the "plop" sound (cloth in sink), then I heard the tap water running (washing her hands) and then tap water off, then she appeared picked up her toys and said "I've washed my hands ady, and pick up toys ady (already)."

"very good Jo", I smile at her and gave her the milk. (No, I've not managed to wean her yet). *sigh*

but....yeah, children are a blessing, life is interesting with them around. Though all those instance were REALLY messy, they make nice memories. Nel is currently at Chinese class. Will have to go pick her up soon.
ciao.
